Why I go and Daven at Kivrei Tzaddikim

If you knew exactly where THE Mount Sinai was today and someone who had no idea of what went on there over 3000 years ago went up the mountain or close to it, they might be bored,or enjoy at some level the little hike etc
However someone fully spiritually connected to the Torah ,making the Torah a part of every area of their lives and has heard and learnt about what happened when Moses went up Sinai, where G-d "spoke" to him and gavethe 10 commandments etc, might come to where the actual Mount Sinai is and probably feel something indescribably uplifting, a feeling that reaches the deep recesses of their soul, an immediate connection through time to that pivotal moment in world history ,basically be overwhelmed by so much,and a feeling of such closeness to G-d...a life changing experience, a Divine validation.
In other words when we realize what has happened ,occurred in a certain place and we make an effort to be connected to what happened just being at that place adds wings to our souls and we soar, our prayers there ,even though G-d is available to us anywhere, simply enter a different dimension and with heartfelt Kavannah(intention,direction) we leave there a different person.
It is told that the righteous leave an impact wherever they are and were due to the lives they led, changing towns cities ,communities etc.
The Baba Sali זצוק"ל ,for example,lived with us and also on another dimension of spiritual existence, a life of purity of deed ,intention etc,holiness, goodness ,changing the lives of so many and the country as a whole even today. To go and daven there is not about the Kever it is about the imprint of holiness that Baba Sali has left there..Baba Sali is soaring higher and higher as a beautiful melitz Yosher for all of Am Yisrael
When I walked into the room where the Kever is, suddenly tears welled up ,it was as if my many sins were screaming with regret and my soul wanted to move past them.I hope I am not the same person that went in there this morning
The righteous teach us much but one important thing is that you make an impact,like no other, you were created totally unique by G-d.Continue to take it higher and higher ,strive to gift the world with the continuously best version of you at any one time.
G-d "believes" in you .knows you are worth the effort and so should you
